BOO.

Hi yes I am a devoted Shane womanhusband thank you.

[plumbrosia]

biggest regret rn is when i donated and sold a bunch of my stuff 2018-2020, absolutely cringing about it. screaming internally. i thought i was doing good for myself and my community but i bet these places just sent them all to a big garbage heap. or picked up and sold as vintage at a ridiculous up-marked price by an influencer on depop. they were good items. they either didn't fit or just taking up space hardly touched, but i miss many of these items now. i was just so cluttered at the time and unemployed. the stuff i sold i at least know went to a loving home.

Online Marketing Big Bear Lake CA

All too often businesses focus on sales alone; they speak the language of professionals, but fail to follow through.

This happens in all businesses and industries, but there are businesses that charge a fair rate and would rather you understand the transaction, focused on relationships and success, and not the bottom line.

Whether we’re dealing with a plumber, dentist, mechanic, or electrician—integrity is important. We rely on finding honest individuals and place our trust in them.

Within the Digital Marketing Industry, the influx of good and bad is no different. Many companies have jumped on the bandwagon of “Google Local SEO” using deceptive business practices, ultimately giving our industry a bad name. Through the use of auto dialers and mass mailers, these businesses make promises they can’t possibly keep.

Conversely, there are a multitude of legitimate “Large Digital Marketing Firms” serving major corporations that entail high overhead costs that leaves many small to medium sized companies priced out of this market

Need To Contact a Pro For PC Setup in Shakopee and Apple Valley, MN

Computer users gather a lot of information by handling the device regularly. Doing a Google search can be amazingly productive as well. Trying out quick fixes may not be effective all the time. Sure, DIY tactics may work periodically, but the same problem might come back afterward. A computer that fails to turn on or is too slow to be worked with can be sorted out by a technician with a few years of experience. Hiring a seasoned computer technician becomes necessary to ensure computer screen repair in Prior Lake and Apple Valley, MN. The trouble is not always about a cracked or broken screen. On the contrary, the following issues are known to crop up on devices that are used extensively without proper maintenance:

1. Flashing Lights- It is time to take note when the LED indicator begins flashing continuously. It is difficult for a layperson or the end-user to identify the problem instantly. An internet search is sure to reveal such an occurrence is possible when the charger, motherboard, or UPS malfunctions. Trying to fix it without knowing the source of the issue would be foolhardy. It helps to contact a technician urgently and get it fixed without wasting more time.

2. No Image- A blank screen can be highly frustrating. No matter how much one tries switching the PC/laptop off and on multiple times, it will refuse to budge. The issue could be with any of its components or the motherboard itself. Trying to find the source of the problem by experimenting is not the right way to go about it. Instead, contacting an experienced technician adept at computer repairs can be the right solution

3. Intermittent Image- It is indeed maddening to find the images going off and on. Working in this state is impossible. While it may be prudent to check the power supply, anything more serious could have to be addressed by a technician who is skilled enough to provide a solution.

4. Dead Screen- There is no need to be elated when the screen turns on. Having an unresponsive monitor is equally frustrating. Tinkering with the controls endlessly will not help either. Such a situation necessitates the intervention of a skilled computer technician who knows how to repair the BIOS (basic input/output system).

5. Dim Image- A monitor that is so dim that it appears almost dark spells trouble as well. When one can make out the outline of the background or view it by turning on external light, it is essential to call a technician for repairs. The backlight may be faulty or the inverter non-functional as well. Identifying the core issue is necessary for making the repairs.

6. Broken Screen- There is no need to identify the reason here. It is pretty obvious. Sure, many computer operators try to continue their work with a cracked screen, but a screen that is broken into smithereens cannot be repaired. It can be replaced, however.

A new user is well advised to hire the services of a technician for PC setup in Shakopee and Apple Valley, MN, instead of trying it without the requisite skills.

Shikhru Devta Temple Rohru | Divine Place

Shikhru Devta Temple Rohru | Divine Place

Shikru Devta Rohru Rohru is a tiny town in Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla district, situated on the banks of the Pabbar River. The town is also known for its apple farms, attractive locations, and gorgeous mountains that surround it. The town’s most popular pastime is trout fishing. The activity goes back to the reign of Raja Bajrang Bahadur Singh of Bahadh. He was drawn to the town and thereby…

Hatchling

Some Dragon Malleus x reader HCs under the cut when he couldn't revert back to humanoid form one time:

- He can't work in this form because he has no flexible limbs. Instead, he spends the day teaching his baby how to fly.

- His baby is still so chubby and its wings small, so it struggles to float a few inches off the ground before plopping back down.

- He gives up after an hour and invites you to go flying. Your baby doesn't have a problem nesting inside its papa's mouth, but you feel icky at the thought of getting dragon drool all over you. He fixes you on his head with magic instead.

- You fly around nearby mountains at first, but he's a mischievous sort and pushes his boundaries by taking you overseas. His guards panic upon seeing him hurtling away from Briar Valley's lands, but nobody could possibly chase him anyway so he just laughs with his deep, monstrous growl.

- You enjoy the scenery as he takes you anywhere and nowhere in particular. It's around lunchtime when he perches at an ancient ruin spacious enough to host his gigantic form.

- You and your baby munch on your packed lunch as Malleus stares at you in envy. With his size, he wouldn't be able to taste your homemade food even if you offered him a bite; he also doesn't want to act like an uncouth animal by roasting an entire boar and swallowing it whole.

- So you end up gathering a bunch of apples for him and tossing them into his mouth twenty at a time.

- It's around your baby's naptime so the three of you curl around together on the grass. Malleus wants to shower you with affection but he couldn't because of his deadly claws, so he tries his best to show his love by sniffing you repeatedly and gently nudging you with his nose.

- "Hornton, stop sniffing me. What if you accidentally inhale me and I get stuck in your nostril?!"

- He snorts and you tumble on the grass.

- You laugh and smack his nose as retaliation.

- Your baby finally awakes, so you resume your impromptu travelling around the world. It was surprisingly fun. You got to see a lot of places you've never been to before, you played with many odd animals you've never seen before, and most of all, your baby had been laughing and enjoying itself nonstop throughout the entire day.

- It's already evening but Malleus still doesn't want to go home. Instead, you light a warm fire near a calm lake and snuggled together as a family. Just a tiny family without the titles and responsibilities; just a little family enjoying a slow, peaceful life.

- You're already falling into dreamland when you feel a strong but gentle pair of arms pulling you in closer to his warmth. You smile and drift off to sleep; not a care in the world for whatever tomorrow brings.

tell me about Amboy, Washington

Amboy is a little town I grew up in (ages 11 to 21) that's northeast of Battle Ground, Washington-- which I'd consider the "downtown" part of where I lived, being only a 25 minute car ride down the mountain and through the forest, with all the modern luxuries a major metropolitan area might have like a wal-mart and a 7-eleven. i believe the population of Amboy is still under 2000, and the population of Battle Ground is something like 20,000.

my favorite spots in/around town were the Amboy Market because that's where food comes from if not from your neighbors livestock, Nick's Bar and Grill because it was the first restaurant i ever became a "regular" at after i started being recognized by the staff, and the Fargher Lake gas station because it sits on the edge of a small, but pretty valley i'd always drive past an any trip to school/work/church/into town. there's also the Cedar Creek grist mill which sells unbelievable apple cider every fall, though you gotta get there early because the lines end up being long.

(pictures in order: "welcome to Amboy" sign, the valley down the hill behind the Fargher Lake store, and the Grist Mill)

Random Witch Tips

If you're going to use a mortar & pestle, invest in one that is stone/metal. Wooden ones are more common and accessible, but they're kinda shit from my experience. They don't last as long, they're not nearly as strong (seriously, the one's I've used couldn't pulverize fucking dried rosemary, c'mon), the wood can splinter off and contaminate your product(s), and then there's bacterial issues if the wood isn't properly sealed, which can also be an issue if the sealant/protectant begins chipping into your product.

Make sure you're actually going to use something more than once before you buy it. Do you really need that cauldron, or can you use a metal pot instead? Do you really need those crystals, or can you enchant a stone or something else to serve their purpose(s)? Do you need a fancy wand or can you use a twig or a pencil? Money doesn't grow on trees, but apples do. Are you buying something to use or to have? To be a tool or a decoration? (No hate if you want it for aesthetics)

Try to use old kitchen spices for witchcraft. Use newer spices/herbs for cooking; you'll get more of the flavor. Before you go shopping for an ingredient for magic, look in your pantry/spice rack. Use what you already have there, especially if they're older. Get newer spices to cook with. And don't be afraid to split ingredients between cooking and crafting; it's literally fine. Watch out for cross-contamination and you'll be ok.

Fabric is more useful for pouches that will be kept in the pocket, tight spaces, or traveled with. Bottles/jars are more useful for workings that will remain stationary, or those that contain liquid elements. Tiny charm jewelry bottles can work well for subtle/hidden magic. Use peat pods (decompostable flower pots) for workings that are to be buried. Do not throw workings into lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, or the ocean; that's littering and is damaging to the local ecology.

If you don't have space (or items) for a physical altar, digital altars are limitless. Make one in ms paint or photoshop; make a tumblr blog or pinterest board; make an altar in minecraft, animal crossing, dreamlight valley, skyrim, or whatever. Some might say it's cringe, but it saves space and gives you more freedom with design and items without costing much money.

Don't make a travel altar if you're not going to travel. Trust me. It'll sit in your closet or your desk or under your bed and just never get used. The water will dry up, the salt will clump, and the oils in the incense will end up eating through other things. If you don't need it, don't waste time and resources making one. You can plan them and design them all you want though, it's fun. But take it from someone who's done it more times than they should: they're useless if you're not actually going anywhere. (I plan to make a post(s) all about this when my spoons allow it)

Part 2: Locations - Holland Valley

Gardenview Packing Facility

The last facility added to the Hadlers' apple empire. They shipped their apples throughout Hope County and beyond. When the cult went red state, the Hadlers stopped their legal threats and resorted to violence.

Silver Lake Trailer Park

A community of people just trying to do their best.

Gardenview Orchards

A part of Doug and Debbie Hadler’s apple empire. After their ciderworks facility, they expanded to a second, larger orchard: Gardenview Orchards. Then they opened the Gardenview Packing Facility.

Rae-Rae's Pumpkin Farm

Fiery matriarch Rae-Rae Bouthillier cares about two things: Prize-winning pumpkins and her dog Boomer.

Gardenview Ciderworks

The first major facility owned by Doug and Debbie Hadler. Ten years ago, they had a dream: an empire made of apples. They nearly achieved it too, until the cult forcibly took over everything they had worked for.

Bridge of Tears

It was called the Mišihrew Bridge when the railroad was still active. It’s now a rickety old train bridge and John Seed's ideal location to send a warning message to all sinners.

Frobisher's Cave

In 1970, a cougar, named "Frobisher" by the locals, killed the star pitcher of a rival baseball team. The Hope County Silver Foxes won that year and changed their name to the Cougars in Frobisher's honor.

Howard Cabin

Home of Niesha Howard, an extreme rock climber from Canada who moved to Montana to be a prepper.

Copperhead Rail Yard

Copperhead Rail was created in the late 1800s by Emmet Reaves. It was shut down in the early 70s and a lot got left behind. It became a place for kids to get drunk or bums to find shelter, then the cult bought it.

Lincoln Lookout Tower

It’s the last working fire tower in the county. A man who worked here promised to help the Strickland family fight off the cult if ever their farm was under attack.

Sergey’s Place

A hobo historian calls this place home. Nobody's seen him in a while though.

Boyd Residence

Will Boyd lives here, or at least he did. No one in the valley talks about him. And for good reason.

Strickland Farm

Property owned by the Strickland family of farmers. No friends to Eden’s Gate.

U.S. Auto

A scrap yard containing trashed cars, broken farm equipment, and even a few busted planes. Eden's Gate uses the garage to build and maintain their convoys.

Doverspike Compound

Les Doverspike was a militia nut and he built himself a bunker. Nobody in the prepper community liked him. Despite that, he was anti-cult and pro-Resistance.

Harris Residence

Mike and Deb Harris were preppers with a cunning plan to keep themselves fed after the end of the world.

Reservoir Construction Yard

Deep North Water wanted to build a new reservoir for the Holland Valley. The company ran out of funding and was chased away by Eden’s Gate.

Dodd’s Dumps

Colin Dodd used to run garbage disposal for the whole Holland Valley, and his business lot shows it. The cult intimidated him into leaving but has yet to sort through all he left behind.

Davenport Farm

The remains of a run-down farm. Local farmers let their cows graze here. Can't let good land go to waste.

Hilgard Electric Power Station

The Holland Valley's power supply is reliant on this transformer station which is controlled by Eden's Gate.

Golden Valley Gas

Once the kind of gas station that gave out free bubble gum to kids, Golden Valley is now a strategic point of gasoline and auto maintenance for the Project at Eden's Gate.

Green-Busch Fertilizer Co.

Facing a decline in business, the Green-Busch family said “yes” and sold the place to John Seed on the condition that locals could keep their jobs and work alongside Eden's Gate.

St. Isidore School

Once a religious boarding school, it was forced to close its doors by Eden's Gate.

Dodd Residence

Home of Colin Dodd, hoarder and DIY enthusiast. He never throws anything out. His granddaughter Nadine's been known to lurk here.

Roberts Cabin

Home of Joe Roberts, a hunter. He's gone missing. He loved hunting deer above all else.

Hope County Clinic

Dr. Kim Patterson provides medical services to Hope County's farmers and low-income residents, many of whom would never receive care in such a remote area.

Holland Valley Station

In the days that it was up and running, Copperhead Rail used to stop here. Eden’s Gate uses this station to catch people who try to escape the region.

Grain Elevator

As the farmlands started to collapse, the grain elevator was the first casualty. Too expensive to maintain.

Henbane River Rail Bridge

Copperhead Rail was created in the 1880s during a mining boom, and shut down in the early 70s after the industry collapsed.

Flatiron Stockyards

Bobby Budell established the stock yards in 1946, and has proudly provided farm and ranch auction services since. The economic and community base employed over 25 people at its height.

Fillmore Residence

Home of Doug Fillmore. Not much is known about him.

Dupree Residence

Home of Tommy Dupree, an idiot who used to work at Green-Busch Fertilizer Co. He got fired by Eden's Gate because he was as dumb as the crap he bagged.

Catamount Mines

Fall’s End owes its existence to the gold Orville Fall discovered here in 1865. The mine brought a generation of prosperity to the region until a suspicious accident entombed 100 men within it, forcing its closure in 1912.

Sunrise Farm

Sunrise Farm was going under, so owners Mike and Chandra Dunagan reluctantly sold it to Eden's Gate. Big mistake.

Deep North Irrigation Reservoir

Originally designed to irrigate farms, the reservoir became a liability when the cult began putting Bliss in the water supply. The Resistance sealed it up to buy themselves time.

Red’s Farm Supply

The Redler family has run this place for 4 generations, and earned a reputation for honest business. Wendell did his best to keep it out of cult hands.

Purpletop Telecom Tower

In the 1950s, Purpletop Telecom built this tower, blessing people with the wonders of AM radio. As time and technology marched forward, they were also given the American splendor of a local TV station.

Woodson Pig Farm

This place has been in the Woodson family since 1943. Current owners Andrew and Frances Woodson used their wealth to try to stand up to John Seed and fight him in court. They lost, and joined the Resistance.

Sawyer Residence

Don Sawyer came from out of town to join the Project at Eden's Gate. He restores canoes, but isn't very good at it. Visitors have sworn they've heard him swearing in Russian over those boats.

Hyde Barn

Kenny Hyde's a poor man in Holland Valley, but that doesn't stop him from loving deep fried balls. He's the proud keeper of Fall’s End Testy Festy decorations, stashing them at his barn until they're needed.

Kupka Ranch

Zip Kupka's the only one who really knows what's going on in the Holland Valley.

John’s Gate

A missile silo long decommissioned and abandoned. The locals used to call it "Area 68." Eden's Gate bought it in secret and turned it into a bunker that is in John Seed's safekeeping until the Collapse.

Security Gate

Formerly the entrance to the missile silo, it's now the gateway to John Seed's bunker. Everything taken in the Reaping passes through this checkpoint.

Steele Farm

The Steele family managed to get their kids out of Hope County, but stayed behind to try and defend their home from Eden's Gate.

Lamb of God Church

A Lutheran church. Its elderly priest was overshadowed by Pastor Jerome’s charismatic sermons. John once asked the priest to say “yes.” Not a chance. Then, the priest was gone. He had taken a “long vacation.”

Lamb of God Sacristy

The Project at Eden's Gate has turned the Lamb of God Church's sacristy into a holding place for everything they need to baptize people at the water's edge.

Armstrong Residence

The Project at Eden's Gate targeted the Armstrong family early, burning their home to the ground when Grace Armstrong refused to devote her sharpshooting skills to the Father's cause.

Bradbury Tractor Shed

A shed for tractors.

Hope County Jail Bus

Prisoners hijacked this bus but were run off the road. The wreck was left to rot in the woods. When Eden's Gate brought prohibition to Hope County, some enterprising moonshiners set up shop behind the cult’s back.

Parker Laboratories

Home and workshop of Dr. Laurence Parker, and the origin of many mysterious noise complaints.

Seed Ranch

The power of yes gave John Seed this dream ranch overlooking the Holland Valley. it has commanding views, a private air strip, and secluded soundproofed rooms for his most invigorating religious pursuits.

Bradbury Farm

The home of the Bradbury family, hay farmers for generations. The strange pattern of dead hay in the field does not impact the quality of the final product. That's the Bradbury guarantee.

Bradbury Hay Field

Bradbury Farm's hay is baled and stored here before being sold to clients looking to feed their livestock with quality hay.

Laurel Residence

Laurel family honey was a local market favorite until their bee colony collapsed and jeopardized the business. It also spooked the Laurels who sunk money into a bunker and became preppers overnight.

Eden’s Gate Greenhouse

Bliss plants are found throughout the Henbane River, but they're also found here. John Seed takes the flowers he receives by boat from the east and plants them in his greenhouse.

Seed Boat Launch

Once a favorite spot for summer frolickers, this boat launch is used by John Seed for receiving shipments of Bliss and other supplies from elsewhere in Hope County.

Rye & Sons Aviation

This plot of land was first settled in 1920 by Willard Rye. He started a crop dusting business. His sons inherited both and it now belongs to the current generation of Ryes: Nick & Kim.

Kellett Cattle Co.

The Kellett family supplied beef for 3 generations. These proud Republicans thought they recognized the American spirit in Eden’s Gate, but when John Seed asked them to serve the Project, they said “no.”

Fall’s End

After prospector Orville Fall struck gold, his small mining camp quickly grew. Decades later, his rival, rail baron Emmett Reaves, shot him dead in the streets, giving the town its official name.

Old Silo

Welcome to the middle of it.

Kay-Nine Kennels

The owner, Kay Wheeler, loved her dogs more than life itself. She bred and trained hunting and guard dogs. When Eden’s Gate showed up, the local demand for guard dogs tripled. John Seed noticed and took action.

Sunrise Threshing

A silo and shed complex attached to Sunrise Farm. Rumor has it that Mike Dunagan's stashed a lot of cool shit around here somewhere.

Redler Residence

Home of Wendell Redler, local businessman and Vietnam veteran.

Adams Ranch

Jules Adams lost her husband in an "accident" after saying no to John Seed. Her family's struggled to keep the cattle ranch out of cult hands ever since.

Miller Residence

Despite financial hardship, the Miller family refused the cult’s invitations, prepping for doomsday all on their own. When the reaping came, Jerry Miller was out working.

Wellington Residence

The Wellington family mine is an urban legend, supposedly stuffed with gold, explosives, or both depending who you ask. Generations of Wellingtons (possibly inbred) have tried and failed to strike it rich here.

I’m bored so gonna ramble about Equivaltale’s layout/landscape also some things about its nature.

The Tree of Feelings is placed dead center in the middle of a huge valley surrounded by mountains as its protection. There’s forest that looks almost uncanny, they’re not normal woods, sure the trees and lakes are real but they look too good to be true, too healthy. That’s mostly due to the creatures that live in the woods, there are tiny magical critters, fae, and plant creatures. These creatures cannot be found outside of the valley, they wouldn’t even dare to try to pass the mountains.

Despite there being different nature creatures, Nim is the only Nymph that lives in the valley that actually seems more humanoid. She was the one that took care of everything.

Later after certain events when the village is there after some people managed to actually climb the mountains, the village was settled in a mostly clear spot in the valley, kinda close to the tree. The creatures of the woods were completely quiet when the villagers arrived and after its down fall. They didn’t trust outsiders, especially being skittish to people who started coming in and out of the valley for stuff like trading or visiting.

Present day after everything that happened all the different ways to get into the valley have been destroyed/blocked off. As well as making sure outside villages were ruined. The creatures can live peacefully again but the forest hasn’t been the same since Nim died and the apple incident occurred.

Sirius tries to take care of the valley and still lives there, it’s their safe haven.

I might make a map of this eventually but I suck at maps so who knows when that will be made, if it is.

How To Ensure Speedy PC Repair in Prior Lake and Eagan, MN?

A computer is an essential device that occupies the pride of place on the work desk. Students and busy executives can do without the quintessential pen and notebook but not having access to a PC is unheard of. Buying the first laptop or desktop is a matter of pride, but trying to install the components and manage a network by connecting it with other devices in the office may not be easy. Hiring a professional to deal with a computer setup in Shakopee and Apple Valley, MN, can be hugely beneficial. Apart from getting the satisfaction of a professional taking over, the risks of DIY methods are negated by and large. ​ Some of the pluses of spending a few dollars to ensure a professional setup are definite include the following:-

1. Saves Time & Frustration- Admittedly, most individuals know how a PC works. Theoretical knowledge is one thing with practical skills different. While the Internet is a jack of all trades today and may provide guidelines on installing a PC and all its components from scratch, it is most likely for the amateur installer to overlook the essential tasks. Doing it again and again not only adds to the frustration but consumes the better part of the day too. The pro will have the required tools handy and will not forget any steps on account of practice. The PC would be installed and running within minutes. This will enable the user to tackle the necessary tasks without losing any time.

2. Cutting Edge Technology- Sure, one is free to buy the computer that one can afford. It is not essential to buy the most advanced device in the market. A professional technician would be able to check the PC and install upgrades so that it works just like a machine that is built with cutting-edge technology. Downloading the latest software and the best antivirus will take a minute. The expenses will be minimal, with the consumer being happy to have the hardware, software, and networks working like a dream.

3. Effective Communication- Setting up a PC at home can be extremely challenging for most young individuals who are not aware of the nitty-gritty. While the professional will make sure to bring all essential tools to complete the setup, installation of a power outlet or the main switch may be necessary to position the PC near the workstation. The concerned technician is sure to have connections so that the electrical tasks are completed perfectly to provide the consumer with a safe and speedy working process.

Communicating with an interior decorator may become necessary to retain the room's aesthetic appeal too. Well, the concerned technician will be able to work closely with other professionals to ensure that the task of setting up the computer doesn't get delayed.

Connecting with a reputed computer servicing company is vital to ensure upgrades and PC repair in Prior Lake and Eagan, MN, as required.

can you pls write about hiking/camping with the hischiers?

So this isn’t all of them together… but I had this idea and had to run with it!

“Okay, LuLu, what are the rules?” Nico asks, tightening the laces on her hiking boots. She wrinkles her nose at how tight they are, but does not protest out loud.

“Stay on the trail, no throwing rocks, and have fun!” Lucie cheers. Nico grins up at his 6 year old from his knee, so proud of her excitement and attentiveness. 

It’s their first hike together, just the two of them. Mama, Mack, and Sophie are at home, giving Nico time with his oldest in his favorite place: the outdoors. Nico has been waiting for this moment since he first held Lucie in his hands. He wants to share both the outdoors and Switzerland with his oldest daughter so she understands more of what is a part of her. 

“Good. What is the most important rule?”

“Have fun!” Lucie giggles. “I always have fun with you daddy.” Nico almost breaks down into tears at the trailhead. 

“Me too, Luc.” He pats her tan, bucket hat head. “Ready?”

“Yeah!” 

With their backpacks of snacks and water on their bodies, they head off onto the gravel trail in the Swiss alps. All along the way, Nico points out birds and trees and creeks far down below. They even see a deer bounding through the valley by the lake.

“Whoa!” Lucie exclaims loudly. “Are we gonna see a bear, daddy?”

“Hopefully no.” Nico murmurs. “If we keep talking, I doubt it.”

“Okay, I don’t wanna see one.”

“Well, we are in their home, baby. We might. If we do, listen to what I say, okay?” Lucie nods seriously. The trail is relatively populated this morning, so Nico is not worried about any sudden bear encounters. 

It takes 90 minutes before they get to the top of their hike. Lucie is being so patient and good.

“Almost there.” Nico murmurs, looking back to his daughter. She has her eyes on her feet, careful of her steps as the trail gets harder to see because of overgrown brush. “You’re doing great!” Lucie smiles and bites her lip at her dad’s praise. 

At the top of the trail, they look out at the vastnesss of the Swiss Alps. Stray clouds touch the highest peaks in front of them that are still slightly snow capped despite the summer season. Lucie stares out in awe at the scene in front of her. Nico looks down at her, beaming with pride at her appreciation for his home country.

“This is yours too, Lucie. You, Mack and Soph will always have a home here.”

“Why don’t we live here all the time?” Lucie wonders.

“Because daddy’s job. But maybe we can live here when I’m done playing, yeah?”

“Will we go on hikes every day?”

“Probably not. You’ll have to go to school.” Lucie sighs. “But we can go a lot.” Nico offers. His daughter nods in agreement. 

“Can I have a snack?”

“Yeah, do you want apple sauce or a granola bar.”

“Both.”

“You got it.”

Nioc distributes the snack, then settles with his daughter on a flat rock. Lucie slumps agains this arm, eating her fuel in the quiet wilderness with her favorite person: her dad.

Can we have some Lumin facts? Pretty please? 🥺

Lumin is named after the luminescent light created by the lake at the bottom of Nightmare’s underground nest, the very waters he would be born in.

Lumin has Ink’s height, colour variant ecto, the spirit of spring, and a touch of the unnerving glint in his eye light. From Nightmare he has elegance, a unique wing shape, and a certain ethereal presence that scarce any other fairy is blessed with.

His voice contradicts his restless and wild nature, because it is soft and low, and you’ll have to listen closely to even hear it.

He carved himself a flute from a twig he received from an ancient tree, and with this flute he plays wonderful and haunting music. It has a way of echoing whether he's around a mountain or not.

Unknown to anyone else than Mimble, he did the unthinkable and befriended a troll who lives near Dream’s Valley of Summer.

He was gifted a special moth from Error when he was born, and to this day that little moth follows him and listens to his orders. Nowadays, he often leaves it together with Mimble.

He’s very cuddly and affectionate with his mate, mother, and father, and is the only one who can get away with tackling Error from behind with snuggles.

He rarely sleeps.

He dislikes rain.

He’s a hopeless mama’s boy and will feel dejected if he ever disappoints Nightmare in any way. Luckily, he’s his mother’s “little apple”, so it would take a lot for him to do anything that Nightmare disapproved of.

He has a silver lantern called “Thorchbug” he can summon when he finds himself in dark and dreary places, and it will either hang by a chain hooked to his wrist, or it will float beside him whenever he so wishes.

He loves the sound of Mimble’s laughter when he kisses all over her face.

He’s very fond of Killer and takes a lot of enjoyment out of pulling tricks and pranks on the other fairies together with him.

One of the few times he’s calm and sitting still is when Nightmare is tending to his wings, or when Nightlight is reading for him in his nest.

Despite having close relationships and loving those near and dear to his heart, he is, in spirit, a very solidary fairy. He must regularly go out and travel alone, but he will always come back, and often so with a good story to tell.

He loves the smell and touch of moss.

Stargazing is a hobby he sometimes enjoys partaking in.

He once kissed the cheek of a woman of the Big Folk, and he silently watched when she groaned and moaned as her limbs turned into branches, and her body into a sturdy trunk as her hair extended and became full of blue leaves. She grew larger than her house and tore through it as she changed. She still stands there today, years later, her veins turned blue and pulsing softly in pretty streaks through the bark. Lumin will sometimes visit her. He always tells her how beautiful she is.

“Your wish to become beautiful came true. Your bark is as dark blue as the darkening night sky, and your leaves are as light blue as the morning sky. There are so many pretty shades of blue. I have never seen a tree more beautiful than you.”

The tree beneath him groaned as the bark nudged and rubbed against itself.

“You can still move, a little bit. Hehe… will you sing for me if I play my flute?”

The blue tree moaned, but the leaves rustled softly, and it eventually settled down.

“Okay, then I will play for you.”
